Chemistry Chapter 5

Front

What is ionic bonding?

Back

A type of chemical bonding characterized by the complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of positively and negatively charged ions.

Front

What is metallic bonding?

Back

A type of chemical bonding that occurs between metal atoms, characterized by a 'sea of electrons' that are free to move, allowing for conductivity and malleability.

Front

What is molecular covalent bonding?

Back

A type of chemical bonding where atoms share electrons to achieve full outer shells, typically occurring between nonmetals.

Front

What is network covalent bonding?

Back

A type of bonding where atoms are connected by a continuous network of covalent bonds, resulting in very hard materials like diamond.

Front

What is a crystal lattice?

Back

A three-dimensional arrangement of atoms or ions in a crystal, where ionic bonds create a repeating pattern of alternating positive and negative ions.

Front

What are the properties of ionic compounds?

Back

Ionic compounds typically have high melting and boiling points, are soluble in water, and conduct electricity when dissolved or molten.

Front

What are the properties of metallic compounds?

Back

Metallic compounds are good conductors of heat and electricity, malleable, ductile, and have a shiny appearance.

Front

What are the properties of molecular covalent compounds?

Back

Molecular covalent compounds usually have lower melting and boiling points, are often gases or liquids at room temperature, and do not conduct electricity.

Front

What are the properties of network covalent compounds?

Back

Network covalent compounds have very high melting and boiling points, are hard and brittle, and do not conduct electricity.

Front

Give an example of an ionic compound.

Back

Sodium chloride (NaCl) is a common example of an ionic compound.
